one mastodon feature I'd like to see is the ability to customize your own timeline by selecting instances, so it's not either just local or the whole fediverse.
It'd be like building your own little neighborhood.
Dictionaries record usage. They are not arbiters of absolute truth. The most weight you can honestly give a dictionary entry is "someone has witnessed a substantial number of people using this word this way".
#Introductions Hi! Gonna introduce myself real quick. I'm a college student currently majoring in environmental science. I'm really interested in how to make cities better for both people and the environment, but who knows what I'll be doing when I graduate. For now though, I'm looking forward to seeing some cool solarpunk stuff.
Is there yet a movement where artists and creators make a testament that after their death all their work becomes public domain? Ie. an explicit middle ground between default copyright period and immediate PD at the time of publication?
I'd be interested in developing and advocating this kind of movement to widen the common public cultural legacy. But I guess some sort of legal expertise would be good to have. And if this is already a thing, then great, I'll join!
Good news: the processing of payments through Stripe is now live!
If you use Liberapay to receive donations and you haven't connected a Stripe account, you should do that: https://liberapay.com/about/me/payment/ (If Stripe doesn't support your country you'll have to wait a little longer for the PayPal integration, sorry.)
If you use Liberapay as a donor you can open https://liberapay.com/about/me/giving/pay/ to see if you have donations awaiting payment. Or you can just wait, we'll notify you when a payment is needed.

In R&D there's a saying: "expect to throw one away". That is, your first prototype will work badly, but hopefully you learn from it and the next iteration is better.
In the future I expect a more mixed network space containing decentralized and distributed systems. Facebook will become like MySpace is now, still in existence but a sideshow.
#introduction#reintroduction Hi I am Konrad a.k.a Conny. I am a software engineer and I make #Android Apps for a large retail chain in #Vienna four days a week. (Something gotta pay the bills.) In my free time I try to organize with other people against our far-right government. When Im not doing that I maintain @Tusky, a Mastodon client for Android. I also like to paint with watercolors and travel around Europe. Here is a picture of me in front of the Belvedere in Vienna.
